PNG Compressor FAQ

Can you compress transparent PNG files?

Yes, compressed PNGs from this tool preserve full alpha transparency. Plus, the compressed PNGs are compatible with any browser and operating system, even Internet Explorer 6.


How does it work?

Our PNG compressor converts 32-bit truecolor PNGs with alpha channel to palette PNG (8-bit indexed color image). This stripping of colors by combining similar colors, while lossy, is often not noticeable to the human eye [1]. Plus, we also strip image metadata, to further reduce PNG file size.


Why should I compress PNG files?

A web page with optimized PNGs load faster, and your visitors will thank you for it! It can also lower your bandwidth cost.


Is there a max file size limit?
